All of my life I have been a real go getter. Every morning, I leap out of bed, eager to get to it. Happy to check the to do list as done, I have never functioned any other way. I have recently come to know; however, that the to do list has been of my own creation. The urge has been to go and get what I desire. The force of will within me is strong, and it has generally served to construct my own design.
With gratitude, I have come to understand that there is a need to change this busy, driven, reckless wind of life. With happiness, I now realize that there is a greater will at work in the universe, and great satisfaction awaits those who wish to serve it.
Solutions come when I search the Word. There is a need for quiet. Stillness should be cultivated. The morning is a holy time, and it is best to stop the urge to leap out of bed and quest after my own goals and desires. Lay Still, Be Quiet and Listen to the Morning! There is a wisdom and counsel present that can only serve to provide proper direction. Desire to please Him is strong, and eagerness to do His bidding grows more present with each new day.
4 The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
5 The Lord God has opened My ear;
And I was not disobedient
Nor did I turn back.
Isaiah 50:4-5
